The World Record Nobody Thought Could Fall

The thing with Bolt though, was that he seemed to ease off before the end of races and didn't always push it until the end. He just cruised over the line.

Bolts cruising speed looks slower than it is, he didn't properly ducks for the line in the 9.58 but literally everything else about that record was near perfect.

To be completely honest, I think Noah has a real shot at breaking the 200m world record. I like Noah, but this won’t be easy. He will need a perfect day, a perfect start, and his legendary close. As for the 100m, I think we can all agree that it will take longer to fall. Lyles would need to start running his first 60 in the 6.3 range if he wants that record. Technically it’s still possible, as we’ve seen many impossible performances before, but he will have to work very hard and consistently to have any chance of achieving it.

[@Tshmoney3475]

I believe on the day given perfect weather conditions on the track and if Noah is capable of executing his 60 start in terms of power onto the track it’s really possible. I believe we can trust his finishing close is good enough to break 19.2 at least

I see you know track. People don't know how exhausting running all the prelims in just the 100 alone and to add the 200 as well. His best chances to win gold is definitely the 200, but also Leslie Tobago is looking nice too with breaking the 300m World Record. That 100 is going to be so deep. Kerly, Coleman, Knighton, Tobago. Everybody is coming for him, especially Knighton. Last Olympics, the Jamaican women showed up and stole the show. This year, the spotlight is going to be on the men.

[@alistairwillock7266]

And this is why Bolt's 2008 and 2009 doubles are on a whole different level: he ran full rounds in both events, and then set world records that _still stand._ Think about that: his 2008 9.69 in the 100m would still tie the world record today, and his 19.30 200m is only beaten by Blake's otherwordly 19.26... And then he came back the next year, ran full rounds and took more than _tenth of a second_ out of _BOTH_ records _AGAIN._ If he'd run only one event out of the 100m and 200m in 2009, the record he would have set in whichever event he ran would have been completely untouchable for _another_ generation from now.

As I've said before, Noah is one of those athletes that can "sustain speed"... Basically, "slow down slower." Some athletes have a greater nack for it (ETH & S. Richardson) whilst others have to revamp their entire sprinting process to get it (SAFP). Ok for anyone interested to learn, train using longer distances (200m and 300m) for conditioning. Also, focus, relax and control your breathing.

[@lastnotleast7]

Bolt was insane his 200 m record 19.19s / 2 = 9.59 s is basically his 100 m record of 9.58s that consitency is almost perfect which means no drop in speed on the 200m even Cheetahs show drop in speed after 100 m. Usain was great because of his consistent speed, sheesh jjust realized it now.

What people fail to mention is that Usain always eased up with about 10 meters left, which had he ran through the finish line without easing up, he would have ran faster times in the 100 and 200.

He absolutely didn't ease up in 9.58. In 19.19 maybe. He was so far ahead that it is hard to tell but I don't think he did much.

[@JohnnyMaverik]

@@clemenx No I agree. his 9.58 is pretty reflective of his max pace at peak fitness. We were lucky to see it. The 19.19 maybe he could have gone 0.01 or 0.02 faster if he was being pushed more but he didn't noticeably slow and don't forget, people didn't believe he would break 19.20 in the first place. Yes maybe Blake could have gotten close with a better start... maybe, but the reality is Blake at his peak was faster than the fastest we have now.

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

He definitely eased off a bit in the 200. It's so wild that a once in a lifetime guy was so chill that he didn't even feel the need to push the record 100%

[@JohnnyMaverik]

@@ImBarryScottCSS True. I've never managed to work out how much he cared about the records vs. winning the race. Even his 9.58, it was a comfortable win but that was a FAST field, and he was pushed most of the way. With out that pressure I don't think he could have done it because, and I don't think this is unique to Bolt, I'd say in many ways this is one of those areas in which is he quite relatable to the average person, he needed that pressure to be able to push that hard. I don't think he could have brought that performance just for the record.

[@richardgallimore5976]

The 200m is beatable, the 100m record is invincible for now. I think Tebogo has the biggest chance out of anyone to break the 200m. A 19.50 at his age plus besting Bolt, Michael Johnson, & Wayde Van Niekerk in the 300m shows that he's the real deal. Bolt's 200m is also into a headwind which helps make it more possible to beat, if Bolt had no wind he'd be closer to 19.16 & with a 1.0~2.0 m/s tailwind I think that would equate to a sub 19.10. So while I think his 200m WR is beatable, the new WR when it happens will still be less of a feat than Bolt's WR if we add in the factor of wind (unless they go sub 19.10 with a tailwind or beat his 19.19 with no wind/a headwind). If the 200 falls my guess would be Tebogo as the most likely, then Lyles, then Knighton. For Lyles to open in 10.00 or 10.05 & be able to finish strong I think he'd need to be at worst a low 9.7x 100m runner. Bolt at 9.58 opened at 9.92. So for Lyles to open at the same percent of full speed he'd need to be a 9.66 runner to do a 10.00 opener, a 9.71 runner to do a 10.05 opener. Going from 6.51 to 6.43 implies that Lyles can take 0.08 off his 100m with a better start, so a 9.75 instead of 9.83 which would be HUGE as that would put him ahead of Coleman, Kerley, & Bromell & he'd be the 6th fastest all-time, but even then it's not quite fast enough to beat Bolt's 19.19 even with Lyles great speed endurance. He'd need to be very very close to Tyson Gay/Yohan Blake 100m & combine that with his speed endurance to pull it off. I don't see him making huge improvements like this since he's already at peak age, so for now I'm sticking with Tebogo has the best shot in the years to come. Edit: To make predictions I think Lyles will run a 9.75~9.78 100m this season. I actually don't think he'll beat his 19.31, that race seems like an outlier as Lyles improved his 60m & 100m when focusing on that from 2022 to 2023, however this means less time to focus on 200m, so his best performance dropped from a 19.31 to a 19.47. I think Lyles will get a 19.39 this year & that MAY be the world lead, however I think it's possible Tebogo runs faster than 19.39 so I think Tebogo will have the world lead this year, but it won't be a WR, not yet.

[@panashenhavira]

Exactly what I said in my comment. Data shows that Lyles and his coach haven't exactly been able to find the balance between his speed endurance and his raw speed to be able to challenge the word record at all. I doubt they will ever find that balance. I could be wrong but jumping from that 19.31 to sub 19.2???

@@Yes_I_c4n Yes, for one Bolt ran into a headwind so someone can get lucky & run a worse race than Bolt (say 19.28 equivalent with the same wind Bolt had, but they instead get a 1.5~2.0 m/s tailwind & squeeze out a 19.17 or 19.18).

Kind of like the 4 x 100m record of 36.84 is 9.21 “splits”? If you estimate that the first leg of the relay runs 9.8 (which would be pretty dang good running the curve), that leaves the final 3 legs all running around 9.01 splits. It’s a lot different when you are already running at the start of 100m vs starting out of the blocks. The second half of 200m can’t be compared to the first when the first half is from a stop and the runner is already at top speed at the beginning of the 2nd half. If a runner is capable of running 9.0 for 100m when already at speed, they would only have to run 10.0 for the first 100m of a 200m race to hit 19.0. It’s all about endurance.

I seriously do think that Tebogo will leave our jaws dropped this year... Lyles , on one hand, might have a shot at triple gold in the olympics, because of his consistency. That said, I do think Tebogo might have a shot at the 200m WR bc he just runs crazy times out of nowhere.

[@fminc]

1.24 percent improvement this year after improving a half percent each of the last 3 years. Looking at his best time in the 200, amd the fact that it becomes exponentially harder to improve year to year, he is 50 50 to break the record. Barring injuries or freak accidents, he is a favorite.

One thing that we have to factor in is the rounds. The Olympics has 4 rounds compared to three at Worlds. It is more difficult at the Olympics.

His WR were at the WC which was faster than his Olympic year even though he was in a better shape his Olympic year.

Thing is though if lyles starts faster then he's gonna finish slower. I doubt lyles is gonna run something like 9.16 for the last 100m if he started similarly to Usain's 9.92.

[@duncanharvey2209]

Yep I too have been saying this forever. He can't even run sub 10 on a bend flat out and if he attempts to get through faster than the 10.15 he did on his way to 19.31, his second half slows. Never going to happen unless he has the speed reserve of a 9.6 sprinter.

[@LivhuWaniWisdom]

I think Noah should focus on the 200m in the Olympics cause if he focuses on a lot of things someone is gonna cause a huge upset on him, Coleman is back on fire so I think he's taking the 100m and if Noah Lyles is gonna sleep he might find himself behind Letsile Tebogo cause one of Lyles biggest weapons was his strength on that last 70m and no one could match him there now with Tebogo not only matching him there but I believe his better his definitely a huge threat to Noah.

[@jakemccoy]

6:25 If I were going for the world record, the final race would not matter as much to me. I would just try to get the record in whatever race is optimal. If that is the first race, then I would go for it there. If I reach peak performance in my second race, then I would go for it there, etc. There are some sprinters who have set a world record in a prelim race. To me personally, a world record is more important than winning a gold. Anyway, if you hit the world record in a prelim, you're gonna win gold anyway. It's just your day. It's like when I go for max reps in pullups. The optimal time for me is right after warmup. If I wait until the end of the workout, I don't perform as well.
